Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world it is God's gift to humanity.

It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.

Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a Freeman, contending for liberty on his own ground, is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.

While we have prisons it matters little which of us occupy the cells.

I know not whether laws be right, Or whether laws be wrong; All that we know who lie in gaol Is that the wall is strong; And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.

It is not the prisoners who need reformation, it is the prisons.

In the raising and exaltation of Christ, God has chosen the one whom the moral and political powers of this world rejected — the poor, humiliated, suffering and forsaken Christ. God identified himself with him and made him Lord of the new world ….. The God who creates justice for those who suffer violence, the God who exalts the humiliated and executed Christ — that is the God of hope for the new world of righteousness and justice and peace.

from the oppression of such freedom who would not welcome the liberation of confinement?
